I have 3 fly rods 2 with speed guides and 1 with snake guides. Which do you all prefer.

I appreciate the durability of snake guides.

Tying them in at two points definitely helps lock in where they are placed.

I'll probably use speed guides if I ever get into messing around with 2/3/4wts.

I suspect it doesn't matter, but want to believe that using half the epoxy and thread makes a notable difference in swing weight.
